many other stories exist in

provided an opportunity to
share them,” commented Bill

Soon after, some of

expressed that it was a

exhibition
provided
an
opportunity for the artists
to speak directly with their
audience about photographs
and the personal emotional
experience associated with
their chosen shot.
Diverging

towards

TALKING MUSIC WITH JORDAN MILLAR

It is always exciting to
discover a local musician
with an even amount of
talent and charisma. Between
travel and shows, we tracked
down
the
sparkly-eyed
Jordan Millar to find out a
little more about his budding
music career.
Having
toured
with
celebrities including Delta
Goodrem, Brian McFadden
and Katie Noonan, it could be
presumed that Millar would
fall under the pop-culture
categor y of Australian music.
However, describing his own
music as a “deciduous musical
tree, always changing a little
bit but with its roots firmly
planted in the pop music
ground”, we might need to
think again. Although Millar
is no Liam Gallagher, we
don’t anticipate collaboration
with the likes of pop princess
Jessica
Mauboy
anytime
soon.
As an award winning
singer
songwriter
in
Australia with a knack for
lyrical creations, which song
lyrically
resonated
with
Millar? His choices clearly
reflected his own sound,
leaning toward the whimsical
and the smooth.

“Jeff Buckley ’s ‘Forget
Her’” pronounced the young
musician, who is also a fan
of Ireland’s ‘James Vincent
McMorrow ’ and ‘Bombay
Bicycle Club’. Millar also
keeps an eye on the musical
prowess of Jamie Lidell who
he finds to be an interesting
and inspiring musical talent.
W hen reflecting on his own
music, the 24-year-old artist
described ‘Recreate You’ as
“complete, both as a stor y
and a song” and confidently
labelled it as his best
work yet.
W hen Millar was asked
to list his top five albums
of all time, he did not evade
the
question,
narrowing
the choice of his favourite
compilations
to;
Jimi
Hendrix ‘Axis Bold As Love’,
Jamie Lidell ‘Multiply ’, John
Mayer ‘Room For Squares’,
Dave Matthews Band ‘Under
The Table or Cash’ and
Incubus ‘Morning V iew ’.
If you missed Millar
perform during March To
The Music at The Galeries

next big fan check out his

upcoming live dates and new
song releases. If you like

DRINK

Originally introduced by the
army of British East India Company in India, the Gin Tonic is a
world famous high ball cocktail.
Sophisticated, simple and straight
up. Forget the copious amounts
consumed in George Orwell’s
‘Nineteen Eighty Four’, this
palate cleanser is formidable with
a wedge of lime or cucumber.
Think of Gin Tonic like a good red
wine; it’s not even that bad for you
thanks to the quinine in Tonic. Do
like Don Draper and refresh yourself with a single Gin Tonic after
a long days work, The Arthouse
Hotel will whip one up to help
you soothe your muscles and relax
your mind.

The in-house favourite fashion
brand ‘Weathered’, once only
available at Incu Men’s, is now
being scooped up by style savvy
ladies across Australia. With
quirky pieces at affordable prices,
it’s no wonder the label has gone
from strength to strength. The
Galeries’ top picks for ‘Weathered’ women’s debut collection
are the ‘Naomi’ shirt in blue with
white spots ($99) and the ‘Nat’
sweater in oatmeal ($129). What’s
more, the men and women’s
collections have matching style’s,
so if you and your partner have
similar tastes, deck yourselves out
together - if you’re game?

DISCOVER THE WORLD’S BEST STREET FOOD T H I N K G L O B A L

AT B O O K S K I N O K U N I YA

When travelling the globe the
best cuisine is often found on
the bustling city streets. The
street is where you will find
the heart of a cuisine and its
culture, somewhere among the
taco carts, the noodle stalls
and the hustle and bustle of
fellow diners.
“When eating, communication
of pleasure and delight is

E AT L O C A L

universal” says Food Writer
Tom Parker Bowles who is a
contributor to the book
‘The World’s Best Street
Food: Where To Find It
And How To Make It’.
Each of the 100 recipes,
inspired by various curbside
markets around the globe, is
accompanied by an explanation
of the food’s history, as well

as the best bazaar or market
in the world where the dish
can be found. Dishes include
Masala Dosa from India,
Bún Cha from Vietnam,
Sabih
from
Israel
and
Hungarian Chimney Cake.
Let this tempting list get
your taste buds tingling, and
take you on a culinary journey.
Pick up your fork or simply

use your fingers, and munch
your way through some of the
world’s best street eats. Pick
it up at Books Kinokuniya
($29.95) and delight in
the unique tasting tips, an
essential item for your next
holiday.

It is difficult to decide what’s
best to sample when it comes to
exploring international cuisine
on a local level and knowing
the best local spots is a must
for all Sydney siders. Inspired
by travel and street foods of the
world, we’ve narrowed it down
to delicacies most commonly
tested in two food culture capitals of the world; Turkey’s Baklava and Japan’s Okonomiyaki
offer a taste of the sweet and
savory flavours of the globe
right here in the CBD.
A favourite of those with a
sweet tooth is Baklava; a honey
soaked Turkish dessert. Traditionally made with pistachios,
the sweet is made with layers
of crisp filo pastry filled with
nuts, sweetened sugar syrup
and honey. If you have ever
wandered the bustling streets
of historic Istanbul, you will
find patisseries no less visually inspiring than those found
on the streets of Paris. Son of
Tuysuz showcases Turkey’s
cultural diversity with a rich
variety of delicious regional
food.
The local Japanese favourite, chicken okonomiyaki is a
Japanese style pancake made
with cabbage, garlic, ginger and
chilli topped with teppan-fried
chicken, bean sprouts, red and
spring onions, snow peas, drizzled with wasabi mayonnaise,

garnished with pickled ginger
and coriander. The fresh ingredients and unusual layered
pancake presentation make for
a delicious meal that is widely
celebrated in the streets of
Osaka and Tokyo. If you’re not
about to embark on a culinary
journey overseas, enjoy these
recommended
international
dishes right here in your own
city. Autumn brings about not
only a change of season, but
also a number of new dishes
added to the Wagamama menu.
Wagamama is the most popular
chain of Asian inspired noodle
restaurant in the country and
restaurants can only be popular
for one good reason; the food
is delicious. So travel with your
taste buds and try the chicken
okonomiyaki today.

International supermodel and
actor Lily Cole has been selected
by The Body Shop as their first
global brand advocate for the
new campaign ‘Beauty With
Heart’.
The Body Shop has long
supported causes such as
eliminating
animal
testing,
defending
human
rights,
supporting community trade in

developing nations and more
recently a crusade to stop sex
trafficking of children and young
people.
‘Beauty with Heart’ and
Cole’s involvement aims to
bring attention to all these
issues collectively and inform
consumers on an international
scale. There’s no denying the
collaboration has the ability to

increase awareness for these
causes, having aligned a fresh
faced red haired beauty with the
brand that just happens to have
strutted the Victoria’s Secret
runway among many others.
Cole is whole-heartedly on
board stating she has “long been
an advocate of the potential
use of business and consumer
power to create positive change”.

Sophie Gasperment, Executive
Chairman for The Body Shop
believes the future of beauty
should be about “looking good,
feeling good, and doing good
too.”
